Saudi Cup: Ighalo inspires Al Hilal to victory against Al Ittifaq

Odion Ighalo was on target as Al Hilal thrashed Al Ittifaq 4-0 in their Kings Cup Round of 16 encounter at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium on Wednesday.

Ighalo opened scoring for Al Hilal on 12 minutes after he was set up by Mohammed Al Burayrk.

The Nigerian was replaced by Abdullah Otayf a minute after the hour mark.

The 33-year-old has now scored eight goals and recorded one assist in 14 appearances across all competitions for Al Hilal this season.

Al Buyark, Luciano Vietto and Michael scored the other goals for Ramon Diaz’s side.

Al Hilal will now shift their attention to next Monday’s league clash against Al Nassr.
